General description

Isopentylamine is an aliphatic amine that is reported to occur in wine and eggs.

Application


  • Isopentylamine is a novel defence compound induced by insect feeding in rice.: This study explores the role of isopentylamine as a defense compound in rice when exposed to insect feeding. The research highlights its potential in enhancing plant resistance mechanisms against pests (Aboshi et al., 2021).

Nitrosomethylisoamylamine (NMIA), a carcinogenic N-nitroso compound was synthesized from isoamylamine (IAA) in a glucose-ammonium nitrate medium after several days' incubation with fungi and subsequent nitrosation with sodium nitrate. The nitrosamine was not produced by control reactions which lacked either IAA
